The optimum plan is to maximize our time from 6 am to 12 midnight in the summer capital of the Philippines, Baguio City, during our 3 days – 2 nights adventure by doing all the things we wanted and hitting all the tourist spots this wonderful place can offer. (But that was just a dream! hahaha)

By the way, you can travel to Baguio anytime you want even if you only have 1 hour left to plan and decide. Why? Regular bus trips to Baguio with 30 minutes to 1 hour intervals.

We decided to buy tickets in advance since our travel will coincide with a flock of “biyaheros” for Nov. 1 break and lucky for us we still got tickets for Oct. 29, 3am trip ‘though we were seated at the back (seat 41 and 42).

Traffic on the night of October 28 was superb. We arrived home at 12 midnight and the fact that our things are not yet prepared – oh yeah, no time to sleep! But that is okay, a usual scenario for us when travelling.

2pm – check-in at Baguio Holiday Villas with an initial cash-out of P1000 as refundable deposit (good to have some cash in your pocket, but don’t worry, there is PBCOM right next to the hotel)

8pm – left for dinner (walking distance to Good Taste)

Oh, details of 2-8pm? Ah, we slept. Okay? Remember, we have no sleep. (hehe)

Long queu in Good Taste so we opted to have our dinner in Sizzling Plate Baguio (in front of Central Park Restaurant, Cariño St.) Lucky #8 in line (Australian Porterhouse and Sizzling Sisig with Leche Flan and Sans rival)

9pm – at Burnham Park (tambay while eating Mango and Guava) also walking distance to hotel

10pm – went back to hotel (bought some beers at 7/11)

Day 2

7am – breakfast (room service / longanisa and tocino with coffee)

9am – going to the Shrine of Brown Madonna church cave as a sidetrip to BenCab (negotiated a one-way taxi fare of 300)

6pm – left Victory Liner terminal (Bus no 2046 / seat 7 and 8) …please make sure to be at the station 30 minutes before your schedule

7:45pm – at Sison bus stop

9:45pm – last bus stop at Tarlac City

12midnight at Victory Liner Cubao Terminal Station

These 3D2N Baguio itinerary may not be ideal to you but a preferred one for us. As I have said, those plans are just a dream since we do not want a tiring vacation. We want this Baguio trip a quality break not based on the number of destinations.

Watch out for a detailed narration of places we have been in this lovely city…DIOS MABALOS and MABUHAY!
